Greenwich Village Water Tank Penthouse (9)

Greenwich Village Water Tank Penthouse (1)

A former terra cotta water tower atop an E. 12th St. building is a Zen space with steel and glass windows stretching up one side and a skylight.

A wildly creative architecture firm named Messana O’Rorke took a former terra cotta water tower atop an E. 12th St. building, blow-torched out the cast-iron lining and turned it into a Zen space with steel and glass windows stretching up one side and a skylight to make the space feel like a retreat.

The tower suite is just part of a $3.6 million unit that includes a roof deck and a two-bedroom penthouse.

Messana O’Rorke also created the sleek interiors of the main space with opaque glass pocket doors throughout, as well as a skylight by the bathroom’s mirror so you can perfect a makeup look that will show well in natural light.
